Washing
Machine wash cold - gentle cycle, mild detergent
Cold water, mild detergent. Think spa day, not power wash. Your BattleGear has been through enough already.
Low tumble dry - no heat
Your baselayer is built for the ice, not the sauna. Low and slow wins every time - heat degrades the A9 cut protection.
Keep away from velcro and abrasive materials
Your baselayer is built for the ice, not the sauna. Low and slow wins every time - heat degrades the A9 cut protection.
Wash separately from heavy garments
Jeans, jackets, and zippers like to pick fights with performance fabrics. Keep them out of the mix and let your BattleGear have the machine to itself.
WARRANTY KILLERS
Bleach
Absolutely not, ever, under any circumstances
Dry cleaning
Your gear is not a suit
Heated drying or hot water
Kills cut protection
AFTER USE
Hang to dry immediately
Off the ice and onto a hanger. Don't let it sit in a pile - wet gear stewing in its own glory is a smell you'll never forget.
Don't leave it in the hockey bag
The hockey bag is where equipment goes to marinate. Your BattleGear has serious science protecting it - don't make it fight harder than it has to.
Micro-Texpur® Antimicrobial Protection
Built-in defense against bacteria, odor, mold, and mildew. It's doing heavy lifting - but it's not a reason to leave your gear in the bag.
Wash separately from heavy garments

PRO TIPS
Wash in a delicates mesh laundry bag
It keeps the TITANOTEX™ fabric protected and your baselayer from tangling with anything it shouldn't.
Avoid crumpling into a ball and leaving in the road
We probably don't need to say this - but we said it anyway.
Skip the fabric softener.
It coats the fibers and quietly reduces performance over time. Your gear doesn't need to smell like lavender to be elite.
